Fredholm integral equations are constructed for unknown normal stresses on the domain boundary in the fundamental problem of plane elasticity theory, and their investigation is given. l. Formulation of the problem.Weshallsolvethefundamental plane problem of elasticity theory for external forces given on the boundary when the elastic medium occupies a finite or infinite domain of the plane of the complex variable z = 2 + iy, and the external forces on each of the bounding domains of the closed contours are statically equivalent to zero. We consider the (connected) domain S7 bounded by simple closed non-intersecting contours L,, L,,. . . , L,, of which the first encloses all the rest. The symbol L will denote the set of all contours. There may be no external contour L, , and then the domain s+ will be infinite (plane with holes). Let s- denote the domain complementing s+ in the whole plane, Sk- the domain enclosed within Lk (k = 1. 3.. . .’ in), and SD+, s,the domains inside and outside of L, , respectively. Furthermore, let n *be the normal to the line L drawn at any point and external relative to St, and T the direction of the positive tangent to - L at the same point. For definiteness, we consider that direction on I, positive which keeps the domain St on the right. We assume the line L to have continuous curvature everywhere. 2. On properties of stress functions in a multiconnected domain, Representation of biharmonic fun c t i o n s, To facilitate the presentation let us recall certain known formulas of plane elasticity theory and let us indicate the properties of the stress functions. We borrow all the necessary formulas from the book by N. I. Muskhelishvili [l]. The biharmonic stress function IL(7, g) (Airy function) and its first derivatives are representable by the formulas u = Re [Z(F (z) -I- y. (r.)], Z = .Z - iy (2.1) &L i)rr $ (2) -= j(’ (r.)

(2.3)
and this means (see [l], Sect, 33) that the external forces on the contour of each of the holes are statically equivalent to zero. In the presence of (2.3), for the elastic displacements to be single-valued it is necessary (and sufficient) that Al, = 0, yk = 0 (k = 1, 2,.. ., m) and this is equivalent to the requirement of holomorphicity of ‘p (z) in latter conditions, expressed in terms of the function u (5, Y), are

The above-mentioned properties of the stress function were apparently first established by GrioIi [2] on the basis of the paper [S]. &, , Sf is an infinite domain located outIn the case when there is no contour In this case, under the same assumptions relative side the contours L,, L,,.. ., L,,. and the single-valuedness of the displacements, to the external forces applied to Lk , the nature of the stress functions as well as the potentials cp, x, ‘p remains as before in any finite subdomain of the domain S+. However, the functions cp and x will not generally be holomorphic in the whole domain S+. It is known that the Kolosov - Muskhelishvili potentials admit of the following representations in the neighborhood of the infinitely distant point (see [l], Sect. 36) (2.5) cp (z) = ‘Fo (z) + cp* (Z)? x (z) = X0 (z) + X* (2) (p. (z) = rz, x0 (z) = I”z2, I” = B' + iC'

Here 1’, B’, C’ are real constants characterizing the given stress field at infinity, and 3. is a certain real constant. The formulas (2.6) mean that the functions ‘p* (z), are holomorphic outside a circle L, of sufficiently large radius R with 9* (z) center at the origin, including the infinitely distant point. Let us present certain fundamental formulas for representations of the biharmonic functions which are derivable by a standard method by using appropriate elementary solutions. A certain difficulity occurs just in the case of the infinite domains when the behavior of the function under consideration must be taken into account in infinitely remote parts of the plane. For the class of functions which we shall discuss later, this behavior is characterized completely by (2.5). The letters P, P, wiLl denote points of the domain S+ or S- , and Q, PO will denote points on the line I;, where Q will usually be the variable of integration. The affixes of these points on the complex plane shall be Z, zlr t, to, respectivz = .Z + iy, z1 = x1 + iy,. The arc abscissas of the points t, to are ely, where denoted by s and so and are measured in the direction of the positive tangent T to the line L on each contour L, (k = 0, 1, . . ., m) . We shall not introduce new symbols to denote the coordinates of the points Q and PO by assuming t = 5 -t iy, to = x0 -;- iy,, or more accurately, t = X(S) + my(s) and to = z (so) f iy (so). To avoid the introduction of new symbols for the functions f of points of the line L we shall also sometimes not distinguish the notation f (t) and f (Q) or f (to) and f (I’,). Writing the Green’s identity for the pair of functions u, Au, and then for Au, 0, adding the formulas obtained, and relying upon the elementary solution of the biharmonic equation, we obtain the known representations for a finite domain 1

The function UO is defined by (2.12). Conditions (3.14) remain unchanged ex cept for one, for h- = 0, which evidently drops out here. Even in the case of a finite domain it is understood that a function analogous to UO can be introduced if only the plane problem for a (finite) simply-connected domain sot bounded by the contour Lo allows of a closed form solution. It is known that the plane problem of elasticity theory has been studied repeatedly by different authors by the method of integral equations [5 - 91. The advantage of the integral equations in v and o presented above is that their solution affords a possibility of determining the contour stresses of interest in problems for multiconnected domains, without any further calculations. A somewhat different system of equations for Y and o is constructed in [lo]. One of the equations of this system agrees exactly with the second equation in (3.13). As in [lo], the representation (3. 7) taking accamt of the boundary conditions of the problem in terms of the function w and resulting in the second equation in (3.13), is used above to construct the integral equations. Hence, it is sufficient to use just any one of the two possible conditions of the plane problem to obtain the complete system of integral equations. In this paper, the condition (I?,, ; as‘2 r i* on 1, is used
(f*, G

(3.17)
is differentitation with respect to a certain fixed direcis given in [lo], where 8 / 3T tion coincident with the direction of the tangent at any point of the boundary L. The meaning of condition (3.17) is not completely clear to this writer: the initial conditions of the problem (3. 1) apparently do not permit the determination of the left side of (3.17) along the contour Lh. It is assumed R* z 0 in condition (3.17) on the outlines of holes free of external forces (only such holes were considered in [lo] ). Even if it is considered that such conditions are valid, it is not at all convenient to use them. They eliminate the without which the plane problem is generally incorrect; it is well constants ok, &, known that only a suitable selection of unknown constants a, /3 can assure the necessary single-valuedness of the elastic displacements. The lack of these constants in ~101 results in a certain number of linear algebraic equations for discrete values of the solution of the integral equations turning cut to be excess. However, it can happen in some particular cases that a part of the constants a, fi of the numerical results in the or even all the constants are zero. The acceptability examples of two circular holes considered in [lo] should apparently be explained by this (the constants a, fi are generally not needed in a problem with one hole). Furthermore, the first condition in (3.14) for k = 0 is absent in [lo]. and as will be seen later, this condition plays an essential part in the investigation of the integral their inequations (the authors of [lo] were not concerned with an investigation of tegral equations).

Now, let us note that a biharmonic function in Sf , equal to the right side of (4.7), is continuous up to the boundary L . Its limit values have a second order derivative with respect to the arc of the contour, which equals zero identically on L because of the first equation in (4.1).

The function expressed by the second integral in the left side of the second equality in (4.8) is harmonic in each of the domains S ,-comprising S-, and is bounded at infinity by virtue of the last equation in (4.1).

Analogously to the preceding, we introduce the function ua defined in terms of the solution of the homogeneous system, by means of (4.2), and the limit uo, oo relationships (4.5) and (4.6) are established on the basis of the Green’s formula (2.21) for u. s 0 from the second equation in (4.1) and the first equations in (4.14). Using (2.20) for u. E (I and the first equation in (4.1) we find as in the case of a finite domain vo=-

In order to prove this, the integral (4.15)

is investigated for large 1z I. According to (4.14), the coefficients A and B from (4.. 13), which correspond to the function v0 , equal zero, and (4.12) yields the following estimate for u. v0 = 0 (in 17,I)

It shows that the function v. is representable outside La by (2. l), where ‘p aof_. On the basis of and x are the series (2.6) without the coefficients a0 and the above, the estimate (4.16) allows the following strengthening: ~Av, = 0 (12 I-“) A270= 0 (I z I-%), an = 0 (I z I-‘), vo = 0 (Q, + In the presence of the preceding formulas, the integral (4.15) tends to zero as I? -+OO and this indeed proves the validity of (4.11) in the case under consideration. As before, ~~~ = 0 in S+ follows, meaning y. (Q) = u. (0) = 0 on L. Let us turn to the inhomogeneous integral equations, and because of the complete Let us first analogy we limit ourselves to considering the case of a finite domain. note that the first equation in (3.14) can be written as

The function Q defined by (4.18), is single-valued and continuous on each of the contours Lh. for any v and G. Hence, the equation obtained from (4.17) by differentiation with respect to the arc so, namely, the equation )

is equivalent to the initial equation. (For the differentiation of (4.17) with respect to the arc so to be valid it is first necessary to raise the smoothness of the line L , to require, say, that the coordinates of its points 2, y have continuous derivatives with respect to S to the third order). Hence, if the first equation in (3.13) is replaced by (4.19) in the integral equations system under consideration, then we obtain a system completely equivalent to the initial system. On the other hand, the system (4.19) and the second equation in (3.13) will be a system of singular integral equations of normal type with zero index (see [4], Chapter VI), as can be seen on the basis of (3.13) for the kernel kij . As is known, the Fredholm theory which we shall use, is valid for such a system. The presence of the solution of the system (4.19) and the second equation in (3,13) is assured by the existence theorem for the solution of the fundamental biharmonic problem for multiconnected domains [5,9]. (We prefer not to resort to the appropriate Fredholm theorem here to avoid the investigation of the associated homogeneous system). The final number of arbitrary constants in the solution in terms of nontrivial solutions of the corresponding homogeneous system of integral equations is determined uniquely on the basis of the uniqueness, proved above, for the solution of the system (3.13), the first equation in (3.14) and (3.15). Hence, the solution U, o mentioned ak will depend exclusively on g, a k, I’,k and will contain the unknown constants b k linearly. If this solution is substituted into the last two conditions in (3.14), we then obtain which becomes a system of linear equations to determine sky Pk ( (4.20) in the notation “j

where Fi are unknown constants dependent on the functions which vanish for fi (t) = f2 (t) = 0 on L, and aik are dependent only on the geometry of the domain S+ (there is the integral equations in the system (4.20)).

the system of integral equations (3.13), (3.14) will have a solution for I: (rj = o on L , and ak = aho, & = a;,,. Substituting this value of vO, csO in the right side of (4.2), we construct the functions u,, (P) which is biharmonic in S+ and satisfies the following boundary conditions on L

and also the conditions of single-valuedness of the elastic displacements. Then u0 = ccnst in S- and all the zLkO= 0 on the basis of the uniqueness of the solution of the plane problem. Therefore, the system of integral equations (3.13) - (3.15) is solvable for any (sufficiently smooth) boundary values ii, fs subjected to the above-mentioned constraints, and determines the functions u, cr and the previously unknown constants akr pk uniquely. The integral equations(3.13)have kernels with logarithmic singularities and, as follows from the above, are equivalent in the sense of the existence of the solution of regular equations of the second kind. A numberical realization of the solutions can be accomplished by known, well-developed methods. REFERENCES 1.
